Der the waves the winds are flying,
Freshly. silently;
Swectly morn reposes,
Sprinkling half tho sky with roses,

All the east in furnace -blazes blending,
Spar',les along the sea!

Evening shadows gather slowly,

Fiercely, loftily;
Black winds bowling DER us
Join the deop-toned thunder chorus
Glorlously.

Dazzling brine, illumcd with lurid flashes,
Sparkles along the sea-

ABOUT EYE DISEASES.
How They Are Spread Through Carelcs
ness or by Accident.

ness or ny ACciuent.
To mention few of the modes of
contagion, have to speak, in the first
place, of towels, especially of that
abominable institution known as the
roller-towel, which has been used so
much in asylums where forty, fifty or
more children use the same towel,
whether they have granular lids or not.
True in a great many of these cases the
existence of granular lids was not
known; but even in cases in which the
existence of the disease was evident,
the ignorance or carelessness of the per-
sons in charge, has allowed transmission
by means of towels to be one of the
most frequent sources of contagion. AS
II carrier of the contagion, the house.
fly plays an important role, especially
in cases of young children who are not
able to protect themselves against the
visits of this little animal. Attracted
by the sweetish odor of the discharge,
it will settle upon the eyes of children
affected with the disease, especially in
fants, and carry the contagion in its
claws to the other eye OF the eyes of
sleeping infants.
Spectacles may be the carrier of the
contagion. l remember the case of a
young lady who could not explain sat
isfactorily how she came to have gram
ular lids. Upon her return to school
she mentioned that she had granular
lids, whereupon one of her classmates
said: "Why, that is the disease which
| have been suffering from for the last
six months" This classmate was
near-sighted, and used glasses. My
patient was also near-sightcd, but had
not used glasses, and whenever she
wanted to see anything at distance
she was in the habit of borrowing the
spectacles of her friend, and there is
no doubt in my mind that this was the
means of carrying the poison from the
classmates eye to my patients eye.
Children with granular lids are very
apt to rub the eyes, because the secre-
tion ms it begins TO dry on the edge OF
the lids, causes IN irritating, itching
sensation. They will now play with
other children. and from their hands
transfer the poison to the hands of the
other children and these latter rubbing
their eyes contract the disease. Hand
ling objects which have been used by
granular lids patients may be the
means of carrying the contagion. A
yonng lady who volunteered to teach
children affected with granular lids,
and who had been isolated from other
children in certain institution, was
warned to be extremely careful with re-
gard to using handkerchiefs, towels o,
any thing which belonged to the chill
dren. She was well aware of tho danger
and promised to be very careful, Shs
handled nothing whatever, she said

WHITE-FOOTED MICE.
How These Little Mammals Rearrange
the Abandoned Meats of Birds.

How These Little Mammals Rearrange
the Abandoned Ncsts of Birds.
Often, as early in autumn as the first
of October, the abandoned nests of cat
birds and cardinal grosbcaks, and to
some extent those of the brown and
song thrrshes, will be found very fire.
qucntly to be tcnantcd by those beauti-
full little mammals, the white-footed
mice (Hesperomys leucopus).
While the fact of such situations be-
ing chosen by these mice, for their win
ter quarters, has been long known, L
am not aware that observation has been
carried beyond this point; and l re-
Gently endcavored to determine, first,
to what extent these old birds nests
are remodeled; and again. whether or
not some of them may not be construct
ed de moro, the builders using the aban-
doned home of bird for the exterior
of the new structure, and removing it,,
bit by bit, from its original site.
In the months of October and No
vcmbcr,. 1884, examined series of
fOrty-two nests, all of which were above
the ground, and occupied by mice. All
were strikingly different from any nest
of u bird, such as is found in so ex-
posed position; none being open
above nor having the materials for lin
ings such as our thrushcs and larger
finches are accustomed to use.
Of the series thirty-onc were placed
in dense tangles of Smilar rotundJolia,
or green-brier. None were near the up
per or outer edges of the thicket, but
usually about one-third the distance
from its uppermost surface, and mid
way from side to side; for instance: il
the growth was ten feet high and six or
eight in width, the home of the mouse
would be at an elevation of between
six and seven feet; and it had therefore
a protecting growth of thorny smilaS
of three to four feet in extent above it,
and nearly the same upon each side.
This was very uniform feature of
the series examined, and, if the mice
merely occupy old nests of birds, in
dicates II uniformity in the matter OF
their locating by the birds, of which
was not aware, and which / am inclined
to doubt.
Again, the smilax was so very dense
or closely intertwincd in the majority
of instances, that it was clearly impos.
sible for bird rs large as q robin or
grosbeak to have penetrated it with
that celebrity of movement necessary tc
escape the impetuous charge of hawk
1t is, ! think. far more probable tina

nest, made it in many cases inaccessi

War on AniIine Dyes.

Strong measures are being taken in
Persia to prevent the importation of
anilins dyes for use in textile manu-
factures, such as carpets and brocades.
1t is maintained that these dyes are not
only less artistic and stable, but also
that they are positively injurious to
health as compared with indigenous
dyes. A similar movement is being
felt in India, where large quantities of
aniline colors are used; and it is ex-
pected that, unless action be speedily
taken, Indian fabrics will lose much OF
their reputation. Science.

cloaks outside, and in the classroom
kept away from the children distance
of five or six feet. But upon examine
ton of her eyes, fourteen days after she
had taken office, it was found that she
began to suffer from granular lids.
Upon inquiry, found that she had been
taking the copy-books and states of tho
children for correction, and in all prob
ability she got the poison from the
states and books 60 her hands and then
conveyed II to her eyes. A teacher of
another section in the same institution
was more careful; she simply walked
into the classroom, did not touch any
thing belonging to the children. and for
two or three months, during the dura-
tion of this epidemic, she was not af-
fected by the disease. The atmosphere
had evidently not been the carrier OF
the contagion in the first case.-

The longest sovereign's reign of
which we have any reliable record is
that of Arganthonius, King of Tartes-
sas, in Spain, who occupied his throne
for eighty years. Charles Frederick,
Margrayc of Baden-Dourlach. was a
ruler for seventy-three years. Louis
XIV, of France reigned seventy-two
years; and the reign of our George Ill.
lasted sixty years. The reign of Queen
Victoria bids fair to become one Of the

What Man with Experience Writes About
Keeping Fowls on the Farm.

Keeping Fowls on the Farm.
As we turn from the horses, cattle
and sheep, there is nothing which Or
naments a farm-yard more than BEAU
tiful flock of full-plumed fowls-tur-
keys, geese, ducks and the vast variety
of chickens. Much as admire and
like the three first. am not in favor
of keeping them. The objections are
as well understood by those who have
tried as can describe them. No farmer
should be without a few chickens Of
some kind, if for no other reason than
home consumption. But all my eX-
pense and best management could
never make them profitable for market.
The large amount and variety of food
they will eat, besides furnishing them
with warm water and keeping the roost
clean of dirt and lice (Which is nine
tenths the cause of all chicken diseases)
make the returns inadequate to the ex-
pense. To clear them from lice, fill q
barrel with road dust, in August, when
it is very fine and dry. When the
chickens are all out take it in the hand
and throw it all over the perches and in
the roost; four or five handfuls will fill
the place with fine dust. Shut the door
and it will permeate every crevice, and
it has apparently not left one to tell
their destruction. Repeat it once or
twice II week. AS they fly up to the
rost their wings fan up the fine dust;
this settles into their feathers and
clcanses their bodies from the cor
morant parasites. To keep the floor
clean should be no entreaty, for no
flock of fowls can be kept healthy all
night inhaling the sitting fumes from
heaps of poisonous iilth.-Cor. Ohio
